Something happened this afternoon in my class at Sock Summit, for which I am still now just grasping the magnitude, and I may need to have a stiff drinkie and a lie down before I go forward with my evening.

Right, so I was in a class taught by Meg Swansen and Amy Detjen (quoted above), which was also being audited by Barbara Walker. And at one point Meg was explaining different ways of working decreases, and paused since she had the opportunity, to ask Barbara if she was indeed the one who first thought up the SSK.

Wonderful! This goes to show the craft is alive and kicking, and still evolving after all those years. Mr beest just commented “Knitting is a bit like science, isn’t it?” Personally I’d say magic, but it is a thin line between the two at times ;-)
